Give Where It Matters Most - To Kids Like Brynslet

One morning in February 2014, Amanda Sellers noticed her normally energetic and cheerful 2-year-old daughter wasn’t acting like herself. Instead of being a talkative toddler, Brynslet was lethargic and feverish, and she had no appetite.

Amanda wasted no time. She took Brynslet to a doctor’s office, where her daughter was diagnosed with bronchitis. But something still didn’t seem right to Amanda.

Trusting her intuition, Amanda took Brynslet to a local hospital for more tests. An X-ray revealed that Amanda was right to worry: Brynslet’s heart was enlarged, and her lungs were filled with fluid.

The next day, Brynslet was hospitalized in Savannah, about an hour outside their hometown. After a few weeks, her doctors determined that she needed more specialized pediatric care.

In March, about a month after her mother first noticed her strange symptoms, Brynslet was transferred to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center at Egleston hospital. The cardiology team monitored her for several days before making the decision that Brynslet needed a heart transplant. Her name was added to the transplant list March 12.

The cardiology team monitored her for several days before making the decision that Brynslet needed a heart transplant.

During her six-month stay at Children’s, Brynslet blossomed in spite of her struggling heart. She proved to be a total people person; she loved meeting new people, exploring the hospital and participating in any fun activities. With her personality shining through, nurses dubbed Brynslet the official “People Greeter of Egleston.” As young as she was, Brynslet was determined not to let the “boo-boo on her heart,” as she called it, hold her back.

On Sunday, Sept. 21, just six months after Brynslet was put on the heart transplant list, Amanda received the call that would save her daughter’s life: A heart was ready. When Amanda delivered the news that it was time for doctors to fix her heart, Brynslet celebrated by doing a happy dance.

During the early hours of Sept. 22, Brynslet received her new heart. The surgery marked a special milestone for the Children’s Heart Transplant Program: Brynslet became the program’s 300th heart transplant recipient.

Throughout her time at Children’s, Brynslet never lost her sparkle or sense of wonder. Now, with her new heart, she gets to go home and put her energy into being a happy, healthy kid.
